More of them need to do some outside the box thinking and put together events that correspond to that. This is an example of that. Last night, you had sprint cars running in at least six different locations, so Joe had a week that he really didn't have anything to lose, so why not try something unorthodox? And by having "get in free night", he put his product in front of a huge crowd. Many of which were probably not regular race fans. And a small percentage of those people saw racing and fireworks and thought "hey, that was fun" and will come back. As far as you bringing new fans, that had never been before, you had to have known, being that it was a free race, that the place was going to be packed with people and some of those people were going to be, let's say "characters."
Just explain to your friends that this was not a typical night at LPS.
